Lesson Tuesday, May 15th
7:55-8:20 Breakfast supervision in the art room
8:30 – 8:50 Math intervention with Avah. Please go and get her in the Blue Wing, second classroom on the left.
Bring her to the art room to work on division sheet - remember to estimate first. Next four classes are with kindergarten
9-9:30 KL, 9:30-10 KT,
10-10:30 recess
10:30-11 KC, 11-11:30 KW
Same lesson.
Read the rhythms using words with the same amount of syllables
ex: Spring words: quarter note - rain, eighth notes - robin
Say the words at the appropriate times using the beat of the video
then try it with different words: names: Reese, Jacob
Then try clapping the notes. You can say anything you want in your head.
Now play the rhythms using drums.
Next, get in a circle with your drum - remember self control - do not play the drum at inappropriate times.
Practice passing your drum to the left. I sing "To the left, to the left"'. This way they get to try out different drums.
When they get their new drum have them repeat a rhythm you've made up. Then to the left, to the left. New rhythm.
Try different sounds: scratching the drum, etc.
Have students volunteer to make up their own rhythm. Be creative - use the floor, body parts, etc.
I have left the book Hand, Hand fingers, thumb if you'd like to read having them keep the beat of the poem and/or playing the rhythm of dum ditty.
Before lining up, have students place the drums on the chairs. Last class could always help you to return drums to closet or push chairs back out of the way.
11:30 - 12 with 3D
This lesson you'll do another 3 times this afternoon.
We have been working together as a 'band' and following chords patterns using pitched instruments. I'd like you to introduce a new song, one I hope some know: Riptide Riptide
Chord pattern: Am G C C
Here is the sheet and Smartboard page to project:
After reviewing the song, have students choose an instruments to play along: ukulele, keyboard, bells, boomwackers, Glock, vibraphone
only a few know the C chord on guitar, but may play that only that chord if they wish. Keep a simple one beat pattern - one A, one G, two C, C
have them practice keeping the beat with this pattern on chords and then sing along ! I also give a percussion option, usually alternating from drum to tambourine.
